Pearson

I was sceptical when I started this show, but I got super invested about half an hour in. It was the spin-off I didn't know I needed... Then it got cancelled. Jessica is such an interesting character and Gina Torres is so perfect, I think it deserved another season, at least to wrap up the cliffhangers. The characters in general were all very complex and the entire series was so beautifully produced, it's a real shame we'll never know what happens next.

Okay, so here's the deal.

This is a spinoff of the show Suits. That show was wicked good. It was quirky, light sometimes, funny sometimes, serious sometimes, and, with a few exceptions, was loaded with interesting characters from day one.

Pearson....is not.

It is loaded with stereotypes. You've got the stereotypical corrupt politician having the affair. The stereotypical female lawyer with a chip on her shoulder cause she's a woman and has to prove herself every time. The stereotypical Hispanic woman with the stereotypical Hispanic family. The stereotypical black woman raising her children solo cause no man around, oh, with a stereotypical supportive but largely clueless grandmother.

What made Jessica so completely awesome was that she was suave, cool, and ALWAYS was in control of everything. She was fearless cause she had the inside track on every situation. And they even took that away from her.

This show could be good. But they need to kill the meaningless unending stereotypes and try and get Jessica back on her A-game.

Right now, this show aint gonna make it. it'll die as soon as the "suits" viewers realize that this is as good as it's gonna get.

Hopefully, if it gets a second season, they'll dump most the cast and retool it into the really awesome show this could have been.

This show is missing anything that grips me and makes me want to keep watching. There's not enough interesting character buildup, the interactions are flat, like everyone is just reading lines, and there are no zany or interesting characters that instantly make you like them or at least be interested in them (like Louis Litt). Big fail, sorry.

I really enjoyed the first season. Thought it was better than Suits. So tired of networks canceling before a show gets its legs. Great actors. Good story line, characters. Second season would have been great!

I really don't get why it has a low rating it's actually one of the best spinoff I've ever seen. Jessica was my favourite character on suits and she delieveres here with iconic one liners. It has so many twists and gives you scandal and how to get away with murder vibes.
